Waiting on Wednesday - The Haunted

The Haunted (The Hollow #2) by Jessica Verday
Published by Simon Pulse
Publishing Date: August 31, 2010

Summary from Goodreads: After a summer spent reclaiming her sanity and trying to forget the boy she fell in love with by the bridge where her best friend drowned - the boy who must not exist, cannot exist, because she knows that he is dead - Abbey returns to Sleepy Hollow, determined to leave the ghosts of her past behind. She throws herself into schoolwork, perfume-making and her friendship with Ben, her cute and funny lab partner, who just might be able to help her get over Caspian once and for all.

But Abbey is never going to truly be able to move on from Caspian and Caspian has no choice but to return to her side: for Caspian is a Shade and Abbey is his destiny. The two are tied not only to each other, but also to the town of Sleepy Hollow and the famous legend that binds their fates - a legend whose true ending and dark truths they are only just beginning to guess...

I read The Hollow last year, right after it came out. I actually live near Sleepy Hollow, so it was interesting to see how Verday incorporated the town and legend into her novel. I'm excited to see how the story continues.
